update: i have basically slept for this entire weekend, so pdtg chapter 28 is not coming tonight, but i'm fairly certain i'll be able to finish it by tomorrow or tuesday at the latest!

[ariel ✨🌙 @darkgodswrites]

@xpeppermintx109 and by users, i mean annoying commenters that believe if a woman is not screaming “burn them all!” every five seconds, she’s automatically weak

[ariel ✨🌙 @darkgodswrites]

@xpeppermintx109 petition to ban the word “weak” from ao3 users entirely.

[ariel ✨🌙 @darkgodswrites]

as a heads up: i’m coming off of an 80 hour work week and it’s looking like next week might be the same/similar. i have no idea if i’ll update pdtg this week, or if i’ll get to it on sunday. i’ll definitely be trying, but i’m exhausted

[ariel ✨🌙 @darkgodswrites]

SCREAMING, this is so beautiful 😭

@awfullywrites this is exactly it! like it's disheartening when someone else's need to see a specific scenario happen, or their impatience for answers (since all my narrators are unreliable) turn into a "this isn't what i want to see/could see happening, therefore it's illogical" comment

[ariel ✨🌙 @darkgodswrites]

i swear to god, it's a good thing i actually enjoy writing, because sometimes commenters just make me want to give up. it's not even mean comments, it's the people who are so determined to project their own reading/characterization that they disregard the actual text i wrote

[ariel ✨🌙 @darkgodswrites]

@awildwickedslip *side note* i do know you can't actually get paid for fanfic, this is just me being dramatic

[ariel ✨🌙 @darkgodswrites]

@awildwickedslip same, like this is not a group project! if you want me to write something super specific, that's called a commission. pay me babes!

[ariel ✨🌙 @darkgodswrites]

@xpeppermintx109 it's genuinely crazy to me because it's like, you can write the fic you want to see in the world! there's room for all of us here! but thank you, i truly appreciate it ❤️

[ariel ✨🌙 @darkgodswrites]

@firecollide omg same! like i am sorry, but if you are looking for fluff and/or instalove, there are a million and one authors i would recommend before myself, i do drawn out politics and scheming and slow burn

[ariel ✨🌙 @darkgodswrites]

@A03Lucas honestly it's not even the negative ones that really get me down, it's the ones where people demand answers that are forthcoming, or get upset when everything is not exactly the girlboss burn the greens fic they have imagined in their heads that i never once promised!

[ariel ✨🌙 @darkgodswrites]

@firecollide god i know you've dealt with worse with entropy. it's just so exhausting when people gripe and whine every second it's not a perfect, disney fairytale with incest

[ariel ✨🌙 @darkgodswrites]

i'm literally so tired of the "why is x-teen year old girl so WEAK?" complaint within the framework of a patriarchal feudal society, like idc that they have dragons, that clearly is not the end all be all!
